Holy mother of Voltage!!

[Knox_Overland]

I was driving home this evening and looked down at my voltage gauge & bam!! Will definitely have to look at that within the next few days!!

 

[Clunky]

That's where mine is all the time.

 

[DirtDawg]

Yup.. nothing wrong there.

 

[Knox_Overland]

Just seems high/inaccurate to me. But maybe I'm just used to my Fzj!! I'll meter it tomorrow just to make sure.

 

[DirtDawg]

The gauge isn't accurate at all, dash gauges rarely are. It looks like you have a good battery and alternator netting you probably ~14V charging.

 

[dubitup]

Multimeter, verify voltage at battery while running to check against gauge voltage.

 

[TXLX100]

Based on the scale of the gauge, you might be 0 to 1v high. Voltmeter on clusters is misleading, probably won't get your attention until battery light comes on anyway.

Looks fine for me

I'd be more worried about the gas gauge reading. At 75 mph, that little bit won't last long!

Lmao. I actually got gas right after that pic.

Halfway between 0 and 18 is 9, halfway between 9 and 18 is 13.5, which is right where you needle is and right about where voltage should be.

No seatbelt at 75mph - booooooooo.

 

[CurbsEnthusiasm]

Normal if you compare it to my gauge.

I just put in a brand new AGM battery and its gauge location is identical to the bad battery I replaced.

Easy Trunk Monkey!! I had it on, but my seatbelt light won't go off!! Lol.

Same here. The gauge didn't change at all.

Don't worry. Toyota electrics/electronics are bulletproof. Unless on VW/Audi/Porsche cars where you look at something wrong and it fails.

Off topic: What's the green symbol in the bottom right?

EDIT: I guess I could add to the bunch and say that's right where my gauge sits as well, and it makes sense to me

Its just a light that is telling you your Headlights (set to auto) are on. "Headlight Indicator"

That happens with mine on occasion too. Hope it never gets to the point where I can't fiddle with the buckle to make it turn off.

Oh interesting. Thanks, mine does not have that.

You are also part of the no D light club.
Your new-to-you LX is fitting in just right.

As for voltage: standard.

Since you just bought your truck I understand your reaction. All your senses are heightened trying to figure out if everything is cool. That is also standard.
